The Spotlight on The Morrison House Bed and Breakfast

Charming Somerville Stay with a Relaxed, Homey Vibe

The Morrison House Bed and Breakfast is a warm, welcoming 4-star B&B tucked away in Somerville, just a short ride from some of Boston’s most iconic music venues. With its peaceful garden views, classic New England charm, and cozy rooms featuring modern touches like streaming-enabled flat-screen TVs and free WiFi, it’s the perfect hideaway after a night of live music.

Why Concert-goers love it

Located just a couple of miles from hotspots like Brattle Theatre and Inman Square, this B&B offers easy access to live music venues without the chaos of downtown Boston. After the encore, come back to a quiet, residential neighborhood where you can actually get some rest. Flexible private check-in/check-out makes late arrivals easy, and with Logan Airport just 8 miles away, getting in and out is a breeze.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a cozy, shared space with personality
  • Solo travelers chasing bucket-list concert experiences
  • Couples turning a show into a romantic weekend
  • Fans who want to relax post-concert away from downtown noise
  • Budget-conscious music lovers seeking value with charm

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant, guests rave about the delicious breakfast served daily—perfect for a late morning after a night out. The B&B is also located near Inman Square and Davis Square, offering plenty of walkable dining spots from quick bites to full dinners. Though room service isn’t available, the staff is happy to recommend local favorites.

Nightlife Options

This isn’t a party hotel, but you’re just minutes from vibrant neighborhoods with live music bars, lounges, and late-night eateries. Whether you're heading into Cambridge or the heart of Boston, it’s easy to experience the nightlife and return to a peaceful room.

What People Say

Guests love the personal touches and friendly hosts who go out of their way to make stays memorable. Reviews highlight the clean, comfortable rooms, quiet atmosphere, and the convenience of being close to Boston without paying downtown prices. The garden and terrace are also a hit for a relaxing start to the day.

Areas for Improvement

This is a quaint, residential B&B, so don’t expect a 24-hour front desk or hotel bar. If you're after a full-service hotel experience with nightlife on-site, this may not be your vibe. Parking can be a bit tight, so plan ahead if you're driving.

The Bottom Line

A peaceful, character-filled retreat just minutes from Boston’s top music venues—The Morrison House Bed and Breakfast is a great pick for concert-goers who want charm, comfort, and calm after the show.

B&B in a quiet residential...

Liked: It's in a quiet residential neighborhood, very close to the T and many shops and restaurants. The Boston Commons is about a 20 min T ride from the Davis station. It's an old historic house with three floors. This is a Bed & Breakfast, not a hotel, so you should expect a B&B atmosphere. It has a nice dining area and living room. Most people hang out there as opposed to staying in their rooms. From the guest book, I can see there were a lot of repeat guest stays. We met a lot of people and had great conversations with other folks staying there. I would definitely recommend it if this is the type of experience you are looking for.
Disliked: Unfortunately we were assigned the Winter Hill room. This is on the ground floor and right next to the dining area. This ia also between the proprietor's office and the dining area, so you will hear him in the morning when setting up. You will also hear the people in the dining room. If you are a light sleeper and not an early riser this could be an issue. Also as it is an old house, there are creaky stairs and other noises from an old house. This wasn't a big issue for us, since we did get up early. I think if we wanted to sleep in, I would have asked for a room on another floor. I also think it was a little pricey compared to other options in the area. I think it could have been a tad bit less expensive.Said, this, if we stayed in Boston we would consider staying there again.

Superb

Liked: The room was clean and very nice. Beds were comfortable and bathroom was nice too
Disliked: The only downside is that they made me pay an extra for my 8 month old baby and a 3 year old toddler. It was just $15 per child per night (extra $90 in three nights plus taxes) but still, we travel a lot with children and we have never experienced this before. It’s unfair
